Hello everyone, my name is Seth. Ive been working on small electronics, PC's, and various projects for some time now (more than a decade professionally, and that's all I will say haha), and this is officially my first forum post ever. I am interested to see what resources are available here, and share what knowledge and resources I have with others (if they are useful to anyone but me).

Every day is a good day to learn something new, fix something that has broken, or make something better! Have a good day everyone!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello,
I stumbled upon this forum while searching for a repair possibility of my Samsung TV. I hope I can find an answer here. I'm an absolutley newby regarding repairing TVs, however I managed to solder a few PCBs for my Home Automation system, so I'm confident in being able to do the repair on my own - only I have no idea how to troubleshoot upfront...

Best,
Sascha

Cudos for the idea of having a new user leaving a message first before posting her own thread. I think this is very effective against spam bots.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone. It looks like we have to write a post here first before we can start a new thread. Or am I being very stupid? It's just I can't find anywhere on any page where I write a new thread/post. I have managed to ask a question to an old thread I am interested in but no replies as yet. here is the link if anyone can help https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=45888 my question is at the bottom. Many thanks in advance.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I finally joined this forum! I found it quite useful in the mid-2000's when I didn't know how bad some the caps out there were. I was then able to fix or at least diagnose a number of problems.

I'm now interested in advanced level board repair, and circuit design and fabrication. I can definitely learn a lot here and might have some knowledge and advice to offer as well. Glad to be aboard!

Hello,
I just joined tonight and very excited by the site and it's educational resources.
I recently retired and decided I would enjoy exploring electronics as a hobby.
The level of expertise among you is astounding!
No matter how far I am able to progress I know it will be greatly enhanced by all of you.
Thank you for allowing me to join you.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

As this is a brand new forum, I thought I'd open up a thread to encourage new members to introduce themselves a bit.. now hey.. let's not get too personal.. ok ?

And if you wouldn't mind to keep this thread "clean" let's try to keep the the chitchat (i.e. even the welcome to the board replies) to a minimum or this thread may get to 100 pages fast

So I'll start things off :

My name is petabyte and I'm a forum junkie. :oops: I've been off the wagon for a number of years and countless times I've tried to stop but it's useless.. I need to feed my learning addiction.. :!:

Now just a bit about me.. I'm a fairly secretive guy in terms of privacy on the net.. especially when the things you write are visable to anyone with a net connection. But I love to share the info and knowledge I have, so that's why I'm here, to share and learn.

my formal education is that of an electronic engineer and I held a field service position with a firm for over 20 years.. that job is gone now along with company car and laptop <cry> oh well..
So needless to say (but i will) I've always tinkered with things.. yes, a hacker.. (too bad that term lost it's orignal meaning) a hardware hacker mostly.. hacking fixes in whatever I find that breaks.. (except for cars, I have friends for that) I got started a little late into the computers, my first box was an ibm pc-xt with a whopping 10meg HD,blazing fast 4.66mhz 8086 processor, 640k mem running dos 3.3.. man was I cool back then.. :roll: nevermind..

so these days, I'm forced to be a software guy as well.. as I fix pc's for friends and that usually means cleaning virus/trojan/adware and reinstalling OS's.. yeah hardware breaks but not that often :cry: so as a result, I keep up on my software knowledge by visting a few security forums.. and trolling around a few hardware forums as well.

now I found this place from a thread at motherboards.org/forums
where I've been hanging out lately.. it's a nice friendly place with some pretty smart people.. mostly, of course, it's about mobo's.. So this person mentioned badcaps.net and I recalled reading articles a year or so ago about the faulty caps and was curious as to what you guys were up to.. and I said "w00t.. they have a forum"..

and so now.. you're stuck with me :P

so what's your story ? come on.. give it up..

Ciao a tutti,adesso sono un pensionato,ma sempre appassionato di elettronica.
Fin da bambino speravo in tutto questo che per fortuna è arrivato.
Spero di essere un vostro amico sincero e di essere altrettanto gradito
da tutto il forum.Un grazie anticipato e un abbraccio a tutti voi , saluti ...
